Mini Seasons - Game Length

[ChiTownKid]

Not liking the decision to make the games 3-inning.



I don't understand the point of it. Conquest already exists for those who want to play short games. At least make it an option to play full games in Mini Seasons.



I was all about this game mode, until I learned of this limitation.



Now, I have no interest in it at all.

It literally lets you get serious rewards in a quick timeframe...what could be negative about it?

Baseball isn't 3 innings. There's already 3 inning modes, offline and online. Battle Royal. Events. Conquests. But the only 9 inning modes are Play vs. CPU (which have poor rewards and are only against live series teams) and Ranked Seasons. The only real mode in the game that even requires a starting pitcher is Ranked Seasons. Mini Seasons was a cool idea of adding incentive to playing Extra Innings against other stacked teams, but they stripped that of being the "endgame" for offline play by making it only 3 innings. It should have been the offline equivalent of ranked seasons.

Agree 100%.

Yup, 100% agree. Unfortunately, the mode is run by the "it gets good rewards quickly" crowd, instead of the "I actually want to play something enjoyable" crowd, so anything offline is short and just there for people to get over and done with so they can get the rewards

Keep mini seasons 3 innings add a seasons option with 9 innings. I enjoy a quick 3 inning game but would also be thankful for the 9 inning option as well.

I think this is the best answer. For specific missions, maybe SDS could increase the totals if a user increases the inning length. So if a mission is to hit 10 HRs, make it 30 HRs if you select 9 inning games.

Most people won't choose that option though and even though I am a big proponent of more 9-inning based content, I'm not sure I would either when I am actively working through both DD and a 'play every game' franchise.

it is 3 innings because it is DD and nobody wants to spend 30 hours completing one run of mini seasons for minimal rewards.

It helps offline players in a couple ways that conquest does not.

1. You will finally get to be home team and see those home team uniforms.
2. As home team it allows you to choose a stadium. There was absolutely no reason last year for offline players to worry about acquiring or creating a stadium because you are always the away team.

If this was a mode of it's own outside of DD then I would say 9 innings would be better.
